Wayland Just About the Safest Place to Live in the Whole Country

WAYLAND, MA—If you live here, you know this already. Wayland's a really safe place to live, with little worry about walking the streets, encountering a break-in, or being assaulted.

Wayland moved up from sixth last year to be the second safest town in the United States according to the Safewise “100 Safest Cities in America” study.

Safewise is a community-focused security organization committed to increasing safety education, awareness, and preparedness. Wayland’s ranking was the highest for any Massachusetts town. Other Massachusetts towns that made the Top 25 were Norfolk, Hopkinton, Sudbury, Franklin, Weston and Clinton.

To compile this report, SafeWise used the most recent FBI crime data to analyze and rank these cities, which all have a minimum population of 10,000 people.
